Headliners-pros and cons
The traditional headliner was cloth on most luxury cars, and even many pedestrian cars. Vinyl came along to accomodate trucks and service vehicles, but was eventually used on most everything. Then, of course, the nasty foam with some sort of glued-on synthetic cloth resembling the real thing came into vogue.
Vinyl is very durable, and easily cleaned. The wool or fine cotton used will stain, and cleaning is a very delicate matter. The slightest leak in the rubber seals around doors and such will just ruin cloth, and the stains are near impossible to remove. So, do you want the luxury or the practicality? As to 'cheap looking', well, it would be best to look at liners in some very pricey cars these days.
Finally, yes, I am going with vinyl in my cars for the roof covering.
